Podcast Insights
Content Themes
This podcast covers a wide range of topics related to data governance, including AI governance, data quality standards, and the importance of executive support. Specific episodes delve into themes such as measuring data governance value, the implications of data lineage, and the relationship between data quality and governance.
The Connected Data Podcast explores the fascinating, messy, powerful world of data — not just governance, but the full ecosystem of how data shapes modern life. Each episode dives into how data is created, connected, bought, sold, secured, misused, misunderstood, and woven into the stories we see in the media and the decisions organisations make every day. It’s a fresh, curious, human take on data in the real world, building on the strong foundations of Nicola Askham’s original Data Governance Podcast while expanding the lens to everything that makes data interesting.
Data tells you what happened. Insight helps you understand why and what to do next.
What separates a good analyst from a great insight professional? In this episode of the Connected Data Podcast, Rav and Alex are joined by customer insight specialist Mandy Ubhi, who shares over a decade of experience turning complex data into meaningful business action for some of the UK's biggest retail brands.
The conversation explores the challenges of working with vast volumes of customer, transactional and experience data, and why insight is about much more than producing dashboards and reports. Together, they discuss the importance of data quality, stakeholder trust, customer feedback, audience-focused communication, and the art of storytelling that transforms analysis into action.
From board-level decision making to empowering frontline staff, Mandy shares practical lessons on influencing stakeholders, creating memorable insights, and ensuring that data drives meaningful change rather than simply generating interesting conversations.
Whether you're a data analyst, insight professional, leader, or anyone looking to improve how data is used in your organisation, this episode offers valuable perspectives on bridging the gap between information and impact.
